Mach I (1981-1983, 1987-1989) (Dennis Condrey/Randy Rose/Norvell Austin) started it all, but it wouldn’t be until 1987 that Mach I (sans Austin) made it to the mainstream. The original basis of the team was the fact that they all dressed in black, drove black cars, and were out partying past midnight.

Mach II (1983-1987, 2004-present) (Dennis Condrey/Bobby Eaton) made it to the mainstream. It was this incarnation that began using the infamous Midnight Express theme, which would continue onwards.

Mach III (1987-1990, 2004-2008) (Bobby Eaton/Stan Lane) had the most mainstream success, including being the first team ever to hold the NWA World and United States Tag Team titles simultaneously.

Mach IV (Bart Gunn/Bob Holly) was a complete and total failure.

Mach V (Bobby Eaton/Rikki Nelson) had a promising start, but was very short-lived, due to Eaton reuniting with Condrey and Lane.

Joan, I was referring to what Nick said, as he called it a stupid topic, breaking down each lineup, and given their successes. It’s hard for me to choose my favorite, but I know for sure that Mach IV (Gunn/Holly) is definitely NOT my favorite.
